Los Pinguos • Argentinian/Spanish Guitar/Peruvian Cajon/Latin Rhythms August 15, 2009

Los Pinguos…. are a unique hybrid of styles that has the passion of the Gipsy Kings, the energy of Manu Chau & the songs of the Beatles. They came to the US from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a mixture of Latin rhythms, performed with Spanish guitars, a Cuban Tres, Peruvian cajón (box-drum) and harmonizing vocals. Vivacious and infectious, the sound of Los Pinguos has claimed fans worldwide, from their hometown to the streets of Los Angeles. Most recently, their song, “Tierra Santa” appeared in the Putumayo World Music compilation “BAILA!”. Their exciting, passionate live shows have garnered a devoted fan base, which have allowed the band to realize their potential and to reach a wide and diverse audience. For Adrián, José, Juan, Juan Manuel and Santiago, this is only the beginning.
